Noah Vonleh and Andre Roberson both seemingly ticked a few boxes that the Nets needed in frontcourt help and perimeter defense. But after signing both veterans just weeks prior, they’re already letting go.</p><p>However, Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that this isn’t the last the team will see of Roberson and Shumpert. The two wings are expected to sign back with the Nets, albeit on 10-day deals.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Guard Iman Shumpert and forward Andre Roberson plan to sign 10-day contracts with the Nets when they clear waivers on Friday, sources tell <a href="https://twitter.com/TheAthletic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@TheAthletic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Stadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Stadium</a>.

Capable veterans such as Houston Rockets’ frontcourt duo of DeMarcus Cousins and PJ Tucker are both potentially on the move. Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond are currently being sat out by their respective clubs as they try to find a bidder before pressing the eject button on their former All-Stars. Better believe that the Nets are sniffing around for potential signings, as they keep their roster options open.</p><p>Sean Marks is once again proving he isn’t resting on his laurels, which he’s seemingly done since day one of his tenure. Despite the recent success of the Brooklyn Nets even without Kevin Durant, the GM is trying to stack the deck in their favor as KD’s formidable trio with Kyrie Irving and James Harden hope to make their imprint on the NBA’s history books come playoff time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Shams Charania of <a href="https://theathletic.com/2387459/2021/02/15/nba-trade-news-andre-drummond-to-raptors-coming-lonzo-ball-interest-and-more/">The Athletic</a> revealed that the Nets also considered signing another veteran in Andre Roberson who is expected to bring his defensive prowess and leadership to the team.</p><p>Roberson last saw action with the Oklahoma City Thunder back in the Orlando Bubble where he contributed 2.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 12.4 minutes through seven appearances. He concluded a six-year stint in Oklahoma City where he previously teamed up with Kevin Durant and was named to the All-Defensive Second Team back in 2017 before becoming a free agent.</p><p>Indeed, the defensive end remains to be one of the biggest weaknesses of the Nets squad after the Harden trade. They previously gave up big man Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, and Rodions Kurucs in a bid to shore up their offensive firepower with the acquisition of the 2018 NBA MVP.</p><p>Though Harden’s arrival definitely boosted the team, it can’t be denied that a championship-caliber team needs balance on both ends of the floor in order to vie for a long postseason run. In fact, the Nets have recently collapsed in several late-game situations after failing to execute on the defensive end which resulted in narrow losses.</p><p>Shumpert has yet to log a minute since coming over to the Nets camp back in late January. The Nets could have inked a savvy veteran like Roberson who can ramp up their capability to defend the ball instead.</p><p>Despite not getting signed by the Nets, Andre Roberson can certainly serve as a low-risk, high-reward type of acquisition for any team in the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His cold-blooded three-pointer with 53 seconds remaining put the Cavs up 92-89 to help the franchise win its first-ever championship.</p><p>However, the four-time NBA MVP in James was the one who carried the team on his back by putting up triple-double performances in almost every game in each of the four Finals series that the team has previously gone through.</p><p>For Shumpert, the comments made by Irving were wrongly taken by people who continuously thinks that his two former teammates are taking shots at each other.

On Wednesday, the former Knicks and Cavs wing compared the 2015-16 Cavs to LeBron’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-jeanie-buss-heartfelt-message-to-lakers-after-winning-nba-title/">latest title-winning squad</a>, the 2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers.</p><p>During an appearance on Complex’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1316107624195272704">“Load Management”</a> show on Tuesday, Shumpert was asked who he would take in a hypothetical matchup between the two teams.</p><p>Not surprisingly, he’s taking the Cavs—and he doesn’t think it would be much of a series.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2016 Cavs vs. 2020 Lakers </p><p>Shump says Cavs in 5. </p><p>"For sure, you f**king serious?!"  </p><p>EPISODE: <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/gq3yj65s1U">https://t.co/gq3yj65s1U</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/LQLSfNmL14">pic.twitter.com/LQLSfNmL14</a></p><p>— Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1316107624195272704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>When co-host Chopz suggested the Cavaliers would beat the Lakers in five games, Shumpert emphatically agreed.</p><blockquote>“For sure, you f–king serious?!”</blockquote><p>Shumpert acknowledged that Rajon Rondo matches up adequately against Kyrie Irving, but not well enough.</p><blockquote>“I mean, Rondo matches up. We not gonna violate, though. We not gonna violate him. We gonna beat em, we just not gonna violate him,” Shumpert said.</blockquote><p>Shumpert’s take lost a little steam when his solution to which Cavaliers big man would guard Anthony Davis was “Mozzy,” as in Timofey Mozgov.</p><p>However, he did make one extremely amusing case as to what truly gives the 2016 Cavs the edge in this make-believe matchup (and some constructive criticism for the Lakers coaching staff).</p><blockquote>“We had the real J.R. Swish,” Shumpert pointed out about J.R. Smith, who was a member of both teams. “They don’t wanna use him now, I get it. He’s older and he had spent one year out of the league, I totally understand … but we not gonna act like J.R Smith ain’t J.R. Smith.”</blockquote><p>Cleveland went 57-25 in the 2015-16 regular season, then epically erased a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals to defeat the 73-win Golden State Warriors. Shumpert averaged 5.8 points per game in 54 games for the Cavs,and played a key role as a wing defender in the Finals.</p><p>Those Cavs had the fourth-best net rating in the league (6.3), a better figure than the 2019-20 Lakers (5.6). James led L.A. to a 49-14 record before the bubble, then a 16-5 record in the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Houston Rockets were dominated all evening long by the Los Angeles Lakers as LA took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Rockets are now on the brink of packing up and leaving Orlando as they face elimination on a critical Game 5 on Saturday. Shumpert, a former NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers, is out there reminding everyone (especially the Rockets), that’s he an old reliable they can count on.</p><blockquote>“I’m 38 percent from 3 in the playoffs and the knock on me is that ‘Iman can’t shoot’?” Shumpert tweeted. “I’m around.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’m 38 percent from 3 in the playoffs and the knock on me is that “Iman can’t shoot” <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/perceptioniseverything?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#perceptioniseverything</a> </p><p>I’m around.</p><p>— Iman.

The Illinois-native converted 8 of his 21 three-point attempts in the Rockets’ second-round series against the Golden State Warriors before exiting the playoffs. His last team was the Brooklyn Nets which waived him late last year.</p><p>Though the Rockets shot okay in Game 4 from long-distance (42.4%), they needed a fourth guy to really step up, especially since the Lakers seem to have all the answers.</p><p>The usual contributors were virtually absent Thursday. Both PJ Tucker and Robert Covington were lacking in offensive productivity all game long for the Rockets. Covington finished with just 3 points, making his only three-point attempt while Tucker ended up with none and missed all four field goals.</p><p>It didn’t help the Rockets’ cause that guard Danuel House missed his second straight game as the NBA continues to investigate his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-danuel-house-to-miss-second-straight-game-due-personal-reasons/">peculiar situation</a>.</p><p>Given how much the Rockets rely on the three-ball, they might want to consider signing the vet on a 10-day to help their cause.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.
